It finally happened: One of the most toxic stories ever told is now over, thanks to the Tell Me Lies season 3 finale. The hit Hulu show concluded with its third installment, officially bringing an end to Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen's (Jackson White) messy college relationship. Or did it?

Now that the finale finally aired on February 17, 2026, we've got our answers. (Well, mostly: Evan's continued friendship with Stephen remains an inexplicable error in judgment.)
